Successful Showcase
On Thursday 4th September, members, parents, friends of the computer clubhouse and community members were invited to the Fitzroy Computer Clubhouse Showcase.
There was musical entertainment from a Congalese trio and delicious catering provided by Bethany J Fellow.
A presentation was made by Asghar Hussaini and Keaton Okkenon about the Intel Computer Clubhouse Teen Summit they attended in Boston in August.
At the showcase visitors saw many projects of the Fitzroy Computer Clubhouse. Some of them were:
A hurdle game created by Asghar at a workshop called “scratchlympics” at the Teen Summit run by Amon, an MIT masters students. The hurdle has a light sensor to detect when the player jumps over it. If the player times it well, he will clear the hurdle.
Posters designed on programs including; photoshop, illustrator, Painter 7.
There was a display of videos that have been created recently using bluescreening. Using Kahootz animations as backgrounds, members have been placing themselves underwater, in the sky as well as dancing with aliens!
A workstation area was also set up for members to show parents and visitors their creations that may not have been on display.
The night was great fun with a fantastic turnout. See some more photos that were taken on the night on our flickr page.
Many Thanks to all the helping hands, impromtu guides and visitors on the night.
Thanks to our photographer on the night, Lee Sandwith (mentor)
